proper management of saline soils needs adequate information about the amount and salt distribution in the root zone. irrigation is one of the factors that control the distribution of salt. this study investigated soil leaching simulation by using hydrus2d software based on the evaporation of soil surface of a land without plant located at shahid chamran university, ahwaz, iran. samples were ta...

Applications and curricula of decision analysis currently do not include methods to compute Bayes’ rule and obtain posteriors for non-conjugate prior distributions. The current convention is to force the decision maker’s belief to take the form of a conjugate distribution, leading to a suboptimal decision. BUGS software, which uses MCMCmethods, is numerically capable of obtaining posteriors for...

Chicken meat agroindustry is one of the industries that contribute to environmental impacts. The impacts are due use resources, energy, and waste along chicken chain. This study aimed evaluate life cycle chain from cradle-to-grave using a assessment (LCA) approach. data inventory consisted inputs outputs five sub-systems: feed production, broiler production on farm, carcass at slaughterhouse, s...

The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was applied to identify the potential environmental impact of dredged sediments used as growing media for food crops. came from Livorno port and were previously phytoremediated. For assay, strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa Duch vr. ‘San Andreas’) used. cultivated on three different substrates (100% peat, 100% sediment 50% mix peat/sediment) real ...

The aim of this study is to assess the environmental impacts household life cycles in Santiago, Chile, by income level. assessment considered scenarios associated with policies. cycle was cradle-to-grave, and functional unit all materials energy required meet an inhabitant’s needs for one year (1 inh/year). Using SimaPro 9.1 software, Recipe Midpoint (H) methodology used. impact categories sele...
